In what many Patriots see as much-needed action, the Trump administration has declared war on Democrat-run Los Angeles, suing the city over its sanctuary policies that allegedly promote lawlessness and hinder federal immigration enforcement.

With this legal move, President Trump aims to dismantle what the administration considers to be dangerous local ordinances that contravene federal law.
It raises the stakes in the ongoing battle between the federal government and sanctuary jurisdictions.
The lawsuit, filed by the U.S. Justice Department on June 30, 2025, targets Los Angeles’ sanctuary city ordinance.
It claims the city obstructs immigration law enforcement by restricting local police from sharing information with federal authorities about individuals without legal status.
Such policies, according to the administration, violate federal laws that mandate cooperation in immigration enforcement.
The lawsuit is part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to address what it terms a “crisis of illegal immigration.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that sanctuary policies are the primary drivers of chaos and violence, as witnessed in recent protests in Los Angeles.
During these protests, over 100 arrests were made due to looting, property destruction, and attacks on law enforcement.
“Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,” stated Attorney General Pam Bondi, cited by ABC7.
This lawsuit not only seeks to block Los Angeles’ policies but also aims to send a clear message to other sanctuary cities.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli stated the intention is to hold Los Angeles accountable for obstructing federal immigration law enforcement, as the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause prohibits cities from selectively enforcing federal statutes.
In response to the protests, President Trump had previously deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
The widespread unrest highlighted the tensions between the city’s leadership and federal authorities.
As the administration doubles down on its enforcement promises, Los Angeles faces mounting pressure to comply with federal immigration laws or risk serious legal consequences.
“We will keep enforcing federal immigration law in Los Angeles, whether or not the city’s government or residents agree with it,” said Chad Mizelle, a senior Justice Department official.
President Trump’s administration remains steadfast in its commitment to enforcing immigration laws, believing that sanctuary policies undermine national security.
As this legal battle unfolds, it could set a precedent affecting other sanctuary cities across the nation.
For American patriots, it represents a critical moment in the fight for law and order under the Constitution.
